About 9 months ago, my wife's 2000 Isuzu Rodeo engine seized on her while driving on the interstate. We have asked several mechanics for pricing on either a used/rebuilt engine, have been quoted several thousand dollars be each on. We were told that the engine is rare.

Do any of you know if an engine out there that we could use? We have asked several junkyards and have found little success. Thanks.

It's not common but I wouldn't call it rare. Assuming you have a V-6 engine, a local wrecking yard here in Spokane WA has one. It's out of a 2001 Rodeo, has 55k, good oil pressure and they want $2300 for it. Of course, plus shipping then you'd have to install it or pay someone to install it. BTW, the website is www.spaldings.com if you wanted to look it up.

I know Walts out here in Springfield Ohio had a 3.2L engine and a 2.2L engine they were asking 2,000 for either. Their number is (937) 864-7336
